477 Pretenders - Pretenders - 1001 Album Club

What this episode covers

In late December of 1979 Pretenders released their debut album. Recording began with Nick Lowe producing Stop Your Sobbing, but being of the opinion that this band was "not going anywhere", he jumped ship and Chris Thomas came in to pick up the slack. The results? Pretenders debuted at #1 on the UK Album Charts, cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200, certified platinum in 1982, and is considered one of the finest albums of all time. Let's talk Pretenders, Pretenders!
